The kids and I went to an Easter Eggstravaganza in Laguna Hills. It is sponsored by a church and they go all out, egg hunts, crafts, snacks, bounce houses, balloon animals, face painting, etc. We met Paula and gang there. The kids all bounced together. Justin got a green doggie painted on his hand while Nicole got a pink bunny on her face. Justin got a green dog balloon animal and Nicole got a pink bunny. The kids had so much fun and ate so much as well. It was a great morning. We came home and had lunch. After lunch we headed to Home Depot to get lightbulbs and plants. After Home Depot the kids planted with us. I guess what I should have said is the kids played in the dirt and did everything they weren&#8217;t supposed to. The kids have loved having Pali the dog here. The kids watched some TV and I decided to get off my lazy butt and go for a little run. I took the dog with me, so fun. And I felt so safe running with a german shephard even though Pali is as sweet as can be. When we went to turn off the TV, Nicole melted down. She was just crying, finally gave her a snack and that seemed to get her out of her funk. We haven&#8217;t had a meltdown like that in a while. Nicole played in the kitchen (coloring) while I cooked dinner and Justin and daddy built a spiral track and played trains. After dinner the kiddos swung for a bit, even though we were cold they didn&#8217;t seem to care. They were laughing and having fun in the swings. I love when they hold hands. We just played in the futom room with blocks, cars, store, and cleaned up a bit. We went upstairs and the kiddos were pretty mellow so we just read a ton of books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daddy&#8217;s off today, yeah!
